To all whom t may Concern.'

lie it known that l, Tuouas W'. OWEN, a resident of Pittsburgh, in the county ot' Allegheny and the State ot' lennsylvania,have invented a. new and useful Alinprovement in Roller-Bearings; and l do hereby declare the following to be a full, clear, and exact description thereof.

illy invention relates to roller bearings for ear journals, vehicle axles and shafts revolving` at a high rate ot' speed and subjected to heavy loads.

The object of my invention is to increase the efiiciencv and wear of this kind of devices.

The invention also comprises details of construction, which will be hereinafter described and claimed.

ln the accompanying drawings, in which l show preferred forms otl my invention, l1`igure l, is a section through a car journal hearing; and Fig. 2, cross section of same, showing a double caged roller bearing. The sectional view F 3, represents an axle or shat bearing with its cross sectional View Fig. il.

Like letters ot reference indicate like parts in each View.

in the employment of my invention for journals l shoyvv a multiple cage roller bearing in connection with an oilingdevice, consisting' ot' the paddle wheels a the blades 3) ot' which may be lined withia material c having capillary attraction to oil, such as telt.

The paddle wheel is to be mounted in the oil reservoir d and is in mesh with thc rollers c and f carrying,r the oil from axle f to the bearings g ot the journal boX WL.

ln the employment ot my invention for bearings Fig. and Fig. l, in which the axlo or shaft rotates in a bushing g I have selected to show a single cage roller bearingv unit, in connection with a brush wheel a as an oilinf;r device.

The roller bearing unit of my invention consists in the retaining rings In Said rings are securely held in a lifted alinernent by means or' the separator pins 29 on. which the antitrietion rollers t are mounted and come in Contact with cone pointed pressure rollers e.

The rollers e transmit the load. Jfrom the axle to the bearing or bushings are loosely mounted in the retaining rings fr, The function oi' the cone pointed rollers s in connection with the pin rollers t is to avoid sliding friction of the rollers, as .is shown by the arrows in Fig. 2 and Fig. 4 indicating the direction of the rollers as the f rotate.

Many changes may be made in the orrn and size of the rollers, their bearing housings and details of connection Without departing from my invention.

l claim,

1. The combination in a roller bearing, a series of spacing rollers t rotatably mounted on pins p, said pins alternately spaced with pressure rollers e and secured in fixed alinement to retainingrings r, forme ing an annular cage, a series otrloosely mounted pressure rollers e Within saicage so constructed adapted to rotate .With said spacing rollers, substantially as arieli for the purpose described.

2. The combination in a roller bearing arranged in multiple units, a series of antifriction rollers t rotatably mounted on pins p, said pins alternately spaced with pressure rollers e and secured inxed alinement to retaining rings r, forming annular cages; a series of loosely mounted pressure rollers e Within said cages so constructed adapt-ed to rotate with said spacing rollers, substantially as described.

In testimony whereofl l aix my signature in the presence of two witnesses.
